 Need help with changing food.
Charlie has been changed to Royal Canine Hepatic due to the MVD, he has been eating boiled chicken for the last 2 years. Now I was instructed to gradually change him over and I have been it has been about 2 weeks and he is down to about 1 whole chicken tender per day mixed in with the RC dry divided into 2 meals. Here is my problem.....
I have put down JUST the RC dry to see if he will eat it at meal time and he does not. he just looks at it smells it for the chicken and then walks away. I need to know if anyone knows how long could Charlie go without harm if I didnt put the chicken in and left him to simply have to eat the RC because there was nothing else. a day?? 2 days?? what are my risks here. Charlie weighs more than 12 pounds so he is not underweight, but will there be a risk of any kind with the MVD. keep in mind at this point he is only getting like 4 or 5 pieces of chicken meat per meal. and he DOES like the RC but if the chicken is not there he walks away.
Ok thats it, thanks |
